5. The Magic Word Podcast - Current Events
---------------------------------------------------
Message by Scott Wells, M.I.M.C. with Gold Star

There have been a lot of important activities that have taken place over the past week or so in our magic community. Not the least of which was the World Championships of Magic (FISM) in South Korea. But also, the I.B.M. convention was held in Grand Rapid, Michigan, and though not well attended, there was a stellar line-up that will be hard to parallel. And over the past month, I have been on an extensive road trip which I called my "Rebirth Tour" where, following the recent passing of my wife, Kathy, I went on the road driving over 3,200 miles, 50 hours or "windshield time", eight states, and visits with hundreds of friends and family who were supportive and gave me much needed hugs. It was a great time to think and assess life.

Anyway, this week on The Magic Word Podcast, we talk with Clark B. May, the proprietor of the newest brick and mortar magic shop. He talks about opening a store in this day and age in a small community without any online presence. We also get an update from Stuart MacDonald about his experience competing at FISM 2018. This is quite an insightful chat which encourages us to achieve a higher level of performance if we intend to compete on the world stage.

You can watch a video of Stuart MacDonald, see some photos, read the blog of my road trip, listen to the podcast online and download the MP3 file at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/436-current-events Of course you can download and listen to the podcast through iTunes, Stitcher, Tunein, and a variety of other podcast platforms. And if you are an Apple user, then please take a couple minutes to write a five-star review in the iTunes Store. That will really help us. Thanks for listening!

6. Great Photos Abound In S.A.M.'s August Issue
--------------------------------------------
Message by Lindsay Smith (US)

There are 26 (count 'em) photos on the cover of the August issue of M-U-M, including 25 of magicians you know or recognize. The 26th photo? That's David Linsell, our featured magician/photographer who composed and photographed the other 25. And there is a dozen more of his photos inside in this three-part cover story. You won't get far into Dan Witkowski's article, "David Linsell: Magic Makes Him Shutter," before you realize this isn't about taking "selfies" or posing for dad's family portrait. This is about magic's go-to professional who "captures the moment" with timing and composition. David adds his commentary on his favorite photos in "Those Photos on the Cover" and "A Few of My Favorites."

Speaking of photos, you'll find more in Kien Meng Wee's article, "Opening the Curtain: North Korea." Yes, this is our columnist Mr. Bottle performing in Pyongyang, North Korea, a country mostly closed to foreigners. His observations on the country, its people, performing magic there (including some definite do's and don'ts) provide fascinating reading.

In "The Dean's Diary," SAM Dean George Schindler reminisces about previous deans and other well-known magicians he has known. "I have never met an old magician," he writes. "John Calvert was 102 and young in spirit." George admits to having a Social Security number with only one digit. As always, you'll enjoy reading his column.

For those magicians who would love to have their own recurring show on a weekly or monthly basis at a specific venue, David Corsaro's "No Smoke, No Mirrors" column is a must-read this month. He interviews The Alans (Jason and Stacy) who have done just that in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Their experiences and solid advice cover everything from start-up to ticket sales and their long-term success.

Antonio Cabral writes about the jokes, folks, in his "Cheats & Deceptions" column. There are no tricks or swindles this month, but some great lines you can add to your gambling routines at appropriate points. Also note: there are no "blue" jokes or politically incorrect humor here. See this month's column by Norman Beck for more about that.

Magic dealers at the various conventions shouldn't get overly excited when Cinde and Dal Sanders approach their table. One reason: Their rule is that they can buy anything they want but only when they know exactly how they're going to use it before they buy it. No matter how clever or how attractive it is, if it's impulse buying, forget it. They explain their reasoning in "TV or Not TV."

Kien Meng Wee, who is bilingual, a.k.a. Mr. Bottle, also bilingual (!), discusses the problems of speaking and performing in different languages. You can resolve the problem by adding silent routines to your shows. Yes, even for kids. In "Magic in a Bottle," he shares one of his kid show routines, now part of his family show, and the magic happens without him speaking. It can work for you too.

Paul Draper writes about relating your message to your audience, explaining, "To make a name for yourself in the world of entertainment, you must determine how you make the lives of the audience better through your work and focus your show around that message." Examples abound in his "On Second Thought…" column. Can mentalism be performed for kids? Check it out here.

"Taking the Stage" columnist Brian Lees writes about setting the environment, describing a nightmare scenario that should never happen: blasting theme music, microphone feedback, apparatus knocked off your table, incorrect lighting and more. Brian explains how you can avoid all these incidents with advance preparation, i.e., setting the environment.

Five well-posted and knowledgeable magicians review the latest offerings from our dealers this month in "Shop Talk." Included are evaluations of one book, three DVDs, three tricks, and one video download. If you buy one or more on their recommendation, please tell them you saw the review in M-U-M.

Bruce Kalver, M-U-M's "Tech Tricks" guru, has found three more apps, props, and tricks to share with you for your consideration. Bruce actually uses what he finds and recommends so you know it's been pre-tested in front of laymen. If they like it, Bruce likes it . . . and hopes you will too.

I'm guessing that few of you are familiar with the name John Henricks, who was billed as the "Wizard of the Atlantic," and even fewer know what a Filoscope is. A what? Exactly. David Goodsell explains both (and caught me twice) in this month's "The S.A.M. History Project" column. You too can be enlightened by David's research.

Norman Beck, in his "Thoughts on Thinking" column, gives us a lot to think about this month as he discusses the use of "blue" humor, offensive language, derogatory attacks on various groups, or political incorrectness. The Magic Castle doesn't allow this from the performers they book. As Norman wisely notes: "You will never get in trouble for what you don't say."

In addition to these regular features and columnists, there's "From the President's Desk" from new National SAM President Ron Ishimaru, "Preshow" from Editor Alan Howard, 21 pages (again, count 'em) of "Assembly Reports" with great information and ideas to adopt for your Assembly, "Broken Wands," with more obituaries than we want to see, "Magic WORDoodles" and "Path Puzzles" under "Diversions," and the long-running and popular "Basil the Baffling & Chloe" cartoon strip. Does Alan Wassilak have a surprise for us this month?

7. Deal and Decide - John Carey #9
--------------------------------------------
Message by John Carey (UK)
https://carey-scene.com/jc-main

Deal and Decide

This piece is designed for a more formal performance. I guess it's a do-as-I-do type effect, but at the end I will describe another presentational gambit.

You require two decks of different colours. Ask your helper to pick up either deck and shuffle it. Extend your palm up left hand and ask them to start dealing cards face-up and to stop purely on impulse. Have them deal the next card face-down on top of the face-up packet you are holding. Secure a left little-finger break beneath this card as you ask them to turn the rest of their cards face-up and place them on top of yours.

Grip the deck from above in the right hand, thumb at the inner left corner, index finger at the outer left corner and revolve the deck face down. This automatically secretly steps the deck at the card (the card they stopped at) and gives you a secret peek of their selection, say three of Hearts. Credit to Edward Marlo for this book break glimpse. Table this deck and pick up the other and shuffle it.

Spread this deck face-up as you comment on how well mixed it is. Secretly note the card above the three of Hearts, as this will be your key card. If these two cards are too far down in the deck, simply cut them to around a third of the way down from the top to cut down on dealing time.

Ask the spectator to extend a palm-up hand. You now replicate what they did earlier by dealing cards face-up onto their hand. Continue dealing until you get to your key card. Deal the next card face-down and then turn the remaining cards face-up and place on top. Have them table this deck.

Remind your audience what has taken place and how fair everything has been. Spread both decks across the table and remove the two reversed cards. Then slowly turn both over to reveal a remarkable coincidence!

One deck version: With just one deck available I like to use the dream presentation that I used in the Dream a Li'l Dream effect you saw earlier in this collection.

"Hannah, sometimes people get so engrossed in their work that they actually dream about it! The other night someone remarkably like you was in my dream. We were in a bar and I gave you the deck to shuffle. I then asked you to deal cards face-up one at a time onto my hand until your gut instinct told you to stop. I had you deal the next card face-down and then place the remainder face-up on top.

I then handed you the deck. Suddenly though, you, the cards and indeed everything in that dream just faded away and suddenly I was jolted from that dream by my alarm clock. I got up and went downstairs and made a coffee. As I sat in the lounge and sipped my coffee I thought about that dream and how it may have finished. Then I noticed a playing card on the floor and picked it up. I wondered how it got there. I turned it over and it was the seven of Diamonds. Please spread your cards and remove the one you left face-down and then turn it over. That's the seven of Diamonds too and so I guess dreams really can come true!"

The method here is exactly the same as the two-deck effect. They shuffle the deck and deal face-up cards onto your hand and stop on impulse. The next card is dealt face-down and you secure a little-finger break beneath it. They turn their remaining cards face-up and they are placed on top. Execute the book break glimpse as you turn the deck face-down and then hand it to them. The rest is pure smoke and mirrors...

8. YOU Are The Magic... Always - #492 - Kyle Peron

Here is an interesting thought that has crossed my mind lately. It is just something I have always done but I never stopped to think about just how very important I feel it really is. It is a very simple statement and one I will try and define for you. "You are the magic...always!" What do I mean by that and what is my point exactly? Allow me to explain if I may.

First, being a magician is an honor and a privilege and this is something that I feel everyone should embrace and remember. Not everyone can be a magician and not everyone gets the chance to perform magic. To call yourself a magician is something special and not to be taken lightly as some folks do. If I want the art form of magic to be taken seriously, then I first must take it seriously myself.

With this stated, I see so many performers who basically turn it on and turn it off. What I mean is that once the show is over, they stop being a magician. To me if you say you are a magician, then you should be one at all times. Being a magician should not be about turning it on when you want and off when you want.

With this in mind, how do you personally seek opportunities to share your magic even when it is not a paid gig? Some of you may simply choose not to perform unless paid. That is your personal choice. I prefer to take an opposite approach. If I say I am a magician, then I seek opportunities to share my magic with anyone I can share it with.

I always keep on me several things at all times no matter what I am wearing or where I may be going. These are a deck of cards (set up with a few gaffs), rubber bands and my business cards in a business card case. I always have these on me and it has just become habit for me to bring them with me just like it would be putting shoes on in the morning.

I do this because I am a magician and as a magician I should be able to perform anything at any time whether someone asks me or if the opportunity presents itself. How many times have you been somewhere (a non-gig) and someone found out you were a magician? Probably a lot of you. Now how many of you stopped to talk to the person and ask if they would like to see something? Maybe not as many of you as people may think.

Some folks are 1) not prepared to perform anything 2) feel they are not getting paid so why perform or 3) just too tired or busy to give the person the time. I always make the time, I always am prepared and I am never too busy to promote magic. This does not mean you need or should do a full 10-minute show. It simply means showing the person a simple little bit of magic that may only be one minute. But it is that one minute that the person will remember.

There are many chances to be able to perform magic and it does not always have to be when someone asks you. Now this does not mean forcing yourself on someone. It simply means seeking opportunities to show your magic when those opportunities present themselves. Just last week I was standing in line at a store and a child in front started crying. I did a simple 30 second magic trick. The child stopped crying and smiled and the mom thanked me for it. 30 seconds out of my day was nothing compared to the feelings my magic generated for those few people.

It is also a wonderful opportunity to market yourself. The person is going to remember the experience you created for them and giving them a business card at the end helps them to remember you and the experience. Perhaps the person was having a bad day and your bit of generosity really helped. Perhaps you then even get a paid gig from this person somewhere down the road. To me, this little time out of your day is a small price to pay for such great rewards. Besides we are magicians and we should be one always.

As always, I encourage you the readers to let me know your thoughts. So, if you have any thoughts on my articles or suggestions or comments, please feel free to e-mail me directly at kylekellymagic@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you.

10. Magic Magazines Like The Old Days

Message by Stephen Fernandes (US)

Two years ago, I posted a list of magazines that I am offering for sale. "Like the old days" means there are 27 pages of issues listed one-by-one, as were found in the Lists of the great vendors of yore.

There was a better response than I thought, given the current reticence of most to keeping paper when digital will suffice, so I'm offering it again, sold Titles removed and new Titles entered.

Click the link below, give a peek, and let me know if anything interests you. Thanks.
